Hi All,
I'm a bit behind editing the thousands of hours of HD footage I have filmed on the West Coast.
My latest YouTube video just went up, it's about my time exploring Gabon - possibly my favorite country on the West Coast.
I can't believe more people don't explore there!
I vow to get one online every couple of weeks now to catch up with the backlog!

Hi All,
I crossed into South Africa no problems at all, and after a quick jaunt I have crossed into the Kingdom of Lesotho!
(Don't worry, I'll go back to South Africa for a lot more exploring!)
Lesotho is amazing, here we are enjoying the views of one of the biggest single-drop waterfalls in Africa - 630ft.

Now I'm in the interior of the country, exploring remote roads and mountains.
Wild camping every night is great, here's another random one:

Hi All,
I continued to explore Lesotho, finding a ton of great wild camp spots:
Then I got the Jeep to probably the highest it will be on the continent (10,630ft.)
Which I thought was a good excuse for a beer at the highest pub in Africa:
You can read more about all of that here:
Looping Lesotho pt 2 | The Road Chose Me
From there, I dropped down the super-famous Sani Pass into South Africa. It's a stunning pass with a few wicked switchbacks, of course the first vehicle to ever drive it was a Jeep!

Now it's time to explore South Africa!

Driving across the Republic of Congo !
The country was not at all what I expected, and I loved it!

Hi All,
After 32,000 miles through 21 countries in Africa, I have officially reached the Southern-most tip of Africa, which is the half way point of the expedition.
Already it has been the adventure of my lifetime, and it's only half way done!
From here, it's North through another 15 or so countries on my way to Egypt in the North East. I hope you'll join me for the adventure.
Also, less than a couple of hundred yards from the southern tip I had my first "car crash"!
